A Carson City District Judge today ruled an initiative petition being circulated by teachers to levy a 2 percent tax on companies making gross revenues in excess of $1 million a year to raise money to support public education is invalid.
In his ruling, Judge James Wilson found that the description of effect used to explain to voters the intent of the petition is incomplete.
The validity of the petition was challenged by a group of Nevada business groups called the Committee to Protect Nevada Jobs.
"The Committee (to Protect Nevada Jobs) argues the description needs to tell those being …

A wide-eyed girl stared up at one of the most haunted lighthouses in the country.
"Wait, I think there's still a man up there," said Julia Creel, 6. "This year I'm scared. Last year I wasn't."
Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum at the Naval Air Station is once again putting on a haunted lighthouse tour. The Pensacola Lighthouse Association and the U.S. Coast Guard hold the tour every year October.
The two organizations spilt the admission funds evenly. Half of the revenue goes towards the mission of keeping the property maintained and the lighthouse lit. The other half goes towards the Coast Guard relief fund.
Jason Balbuena is the resident paranormal investigator and tour leader for the Pensacola Lighthouse. Balbuena led the tour dressed as popular horror character Dracula.
"Hey! This is my theme song," Balbuena said as a children's mix of the theme song from the 1984 film "Ghostbusters" played over the speakers.
He has been participating in the Haunted Lighthouse exhibit for three years, The tours have been given since 2009.
Jed Daleiden is a 22 year old Coast Guard flight student who volunteered inside the museum, wearing a costume to scare visitors.
"It's been a lot of fun and it's great for families," said Daleiden. "Last Saturday, we had a group of people that were terrified the whole way through and we chased them after they exited the tower all the way to their cars with chainsaws."
Visitors Donna Clark and her son Eric Ireland, 15, are avid watchers of the Travel Channel's show "Ghost Hunters."
"I want to see a ghost, that's why we're here tonight," Eric said.
There are many legends that surround the lighthouse, but the most prominent and featured of the tour is of a woman who died in her nightgown after hemorrhaging to death of childbed fever.
Since then, the Lady in White has been seen floating up and down the stairs of the tower and in every room of the lighthouse while ghosts of young children have been seen playing around the grounds.
After guests make their way through the haunted lighthouse, they are encouraged to climb the 177 cast iron steps of the spiral staircase, to the top of the 171-foot tall lighthouse.
"We do a lot of things like this to raise money for the tower as it is very expensive to restore a 154 year old tower," said Glen Sefcik, collections manager at the Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum. "It's survived numerous hurricanes and the Civil War. It's a treasure here in Pensacola."
There will be one final Haunted Lighthouse tour given on Halloween night at 6 p.m., located at 2081 Radford Blvd. at NAS Pensacola. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for children.

Soft Structured Carriers
Sutemi Pack Baby Carrier
" I don't see this one mentioned a lot on the boards. I received it from a friend and it is hands-down my favorite carrier. I have had ring slings, wraps, etc. but this one is definitely my go-to.

Tulane releases "The Playbook" for success
Tulane athletic director Rick Dickson and President Scott Cowan released The Playbook, outlining the vision for football success.
Cowan expressed a strong and renewed commitment to achieving success in football. He also announced that Tulane is looking into options to build a new stadium. Overall, the meeting with Tulane supports was positive and encouraging.
The last significant success at Tulane was in 1998 when Tommy Bowden led the Green Wave to a 12-0 record.
Since the announcement, Tulane has launched TulanePlayBook.com
Cowan said, "I don't have the patience to wait a decade. Our line of sight is football. We are going to work as hard and long as we can to get it done. There's only one way I will measure success and that is wins and losses."
"We will achieve it and do it in a reasonable time frame."
So what are the goals?
"It's not to have 2 winning seasons every decade. My measure of success is winning the division and conference title every year and if we don't, we're trying our hardest to do that."
"That's not going to happen overnight."
"We reimagined this entire university in 3 or 4 years (after Katrina), so we sure can do it for football."
"We are looking at the possibility of playing venues. I do think that is one piece of the puzzle that it's going to take to be successful."
"I don't have all the answers tonight, but we will have answers for you shortly, and we will let you know."
Cowan ended by stating, "Together we are going to win and it's going to start next year."
Larry Porter lays out goals for Spring practice
Memphis begins Spring practice today under second-year head coach Larry Porter.
Two new coaches joined the staff this off-season. Former Utah assistant Blake Miller joined the staff as co-offensive coordinator / offensive line coach and former Arkansas – Pine Bluff assistant Jerry Mack joined the staff as wide receivers coach. Quarterbacks coach / assistant head coach Kevin McGiven will now call the plays.
Porter said today on Sports56 in Memphis, "Offensively, it goes back to establishing continuity on the offensive line and challenging our wide receivers to be more productive. We have to have the guys that play around the quarterback be more productive than a year ago."
"We have to have a more aggressive style of play-calling. It won't be completely spread, but it will be more up tempo offense and aggressive with the play-calling, and much more creative in the plays we are running."
"Defensively, first and foremost we want to simplify things and then we must improve our tackling and third-down defense."
Porter made sure to appease the Memphis supporters during Spring practice by announcing, "The facility is open. We want our town to come and be around us and enjoy the day as we go to work."
Memphis open against Mississippi State, at Arkansas State, and Austin Peay.
Mike Riley: It's almost turning into AAU basketball
Oregon State head coach Mike Riley is not interested in dealing with a "middle man" during the recruiting process.
Riley told The Oregonian, "It's almost turning into something like AAU basketball.''
In recent weeks, certain recruiting service companies have come under question for the exact services they are truly providing to colleges.
One college assistant told FootballScoop, "There is one school out there that is paying a guy about $10,000. It's supposed to be for video of prospects, but in reality it's for that guy being responsible for bringing 5-6 top prospects in his area across country to summer camp. The money pays for the trip expenses and registration for the prospects. The guy keeps the rest and may send a few videos."
Mike Riley told The Oregonian, "For the most part, our interaction has been through high school coaches, counselors, teachers, the kid, and his family. That's been it. But there is a growing concern out there about other entities entering the picture, and it's not healthy.''
Perhaps the most subscibed to service by college coaches is The Coach Tracker database, which is sent monthly to over 110 college coaching staffs. The Coach Tracker includes the cell number & email address of nearly every high school head football coach in the country. The database is updated daily by the FootballScoop Staff. We can assure you that there is no "middle man."
Muschamp ready to begin Spring practice at Florida
Florida starts Spring practice on Wednesday and practice will be closed to the public.
It will be the first practice under new head coach Will Muschamp and his assistants that include Charlie Wies (offensive coordinator / quarterbacks), Brian White (running backs), Aubrey Hill (wide receivers / recruiting coordinator), Frank Verducci (offensive line / run game coordinator), and Derek Lewis (tight ends).
The defensive staff includes Dan Quinn (defensive coordinator / defensive line), Bryant Young (defensive line), Travaris Robinson (defensive backs), and DJ Durkin (special teams coordinator / linebackers).
Will Muschamp explained, "I've got to make a decision that I think is best for the program and about winning football games and doing it the right way. That's something that will be evaluated in the fall by me and in the spring by me. If I think it's best for the practices to be closed, they'll be closed."
Muschamp talked about goals for the Spring.
He said, "Develop the leadership. Come together for that common purpose. I know we'll all be excited on Wednesday; I want to see how we are [at] practice 12. That's really where you find out what kind of team you've got. We want to be a blue-collar, overachieving unit. We've got some good football players; we got a good football team on campus. We've got to come together as a cohesive unit, build for a common purpose and develop that workman-like attitude."
So what type of defensive scheme will the Gators implement?
Muschamp said, "We want to be multiple. We'll be more of an over team, a 4-3 team, a one-gap team at this point. We will co-mingle some 3-4."
The Gators open next season against Florida Atlantic, UAB, and Tennessee. The month of October looks daunting with games against Alabama, at LSU, at Auburn, and at Georgia.
Stockstill opens Spring practice with new coaches and new goals
Spring practice starts today at Middle Tennessee State.
Head coach Rick Stockstill has two new coordinators and a couple of new assistants. Willie Simmons was promoted from running backs coach to offensive coordinator. Special teams coordinator / corners coach Steve Ellis is the new defensive coordinator.
Former Murray State offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner is the new quarterbacks coach / passing game coordinator and former Valdosta State defensive coordinator Joe Cauthen takes over the special teams coordinator / linebackers job.
Rick Stockstill talked about his concerns this morning.
Stockstill said, "Being a team. I did not feel like we were a close team last year like we have been in the past. I want to make sure it is WE and not ME. I have stressed with everyone to be on the same page, support each other, and pull the rope in the same direction. We have not mentioned one word about winning a certain number of games next year or winning a conference championship."
"We have only talked about winning the day so we will focus on winning Wednesday and then worry about Thursday on Thursday. I have signs around our offices and locker room about winning the day with three code phrases. One is doing things as fast as we can, two is effort, and three is finish everything you start."
Stockstill will focus on turnovers and protecting the football.
"I will also stress our tempo because we want to play as fast as anyone in the country while also protecting the football. Over the last two years we have won just one game when we lost the turnover battle and that was against Austin Peay. We also have to create more explosive plays because we were not effective in that area a year ago."
MTSU opens at Purdue before hosting Georgia Tech in week 2. The other non-conference games are against Memphis and at Tennessee.
UCONN coaches looking for quarterback "escapability"
Football coaches have created a new word.
Although the term is not an actual English word, "escapability" has become accepted as the skill to impress with elusiveness in the pocket.
Trent Dilfer, the best analyst in football, used the term no less than 9,221 times on TV and/or ESPN Radio during the 2010 football season.
It's the skill that UCONN head coach Paul Pasqualoni and offensive coordinator George DeLeone are looking for on the recruiting trail.
DeLeone explained the ESPN, "In the NFL, I look at the great quarterbacks. I look at Drew Brees. One of the great things he has is escapability. You look at Phillip Rivers. One of the great things he has is escapability. I look at Tom Brady -- as great a dropback passer as he is, I see him avoid people in the pocket. As great a dropback passer as Peyton Manning is, I see him live and in person avoiding people in the pocket."
"My point is, number one, quarterbacks have to have some sort of escapability. In today's day and age, with the amount of blitzes and pressures you see, quarterbacks have to be able to escape and have to do something beyond the design of the play to keep the chains moving. When we had Donovan McNabb, he was the greatest example of that. On three of the four third downs, he'd sit in pocket and throw the ball. And all of a sudden on the fourth one, he'd run for a first down and keep the chains moving."
UCONN begins Spring practice today. The high in Storrs today is 48 degrees and sunny.
Embree making sure Buffaloes form strong practice habits
9 of 21 new head coaches this year are first-time head coaches. Colorado head coach Jon Embree is one of them.
With Spring practice underway in Boulder, Embree admits he's learning.
Embree explained, "You see stuff and you want to say something, but I don`t want to step on toes. I just find the right time to do it. I`m still able to coach. It`s just not as quickly as I want to or in the manner that I want to."
After Monday's practice, Embree talked about the importance of playing physical football and having plays "to hang our hat on."
Embree said, "There's going to be some plays that we hang our hat on."
As for the physical practice, he added, "Oh yeah, some guys got exposed, and that`s good because their teammates will know about them. It`s habits right now. That`s the problem right now. Habits. They want to feel sorry for themselves a little bit. More importantly, knowing how to work. We don`t know how to work yet. We`ll get it."
"We're still up and down. We can't get to a certain level and sustain it."
Colorado opens at Hawaii (brick game). The Buffaloes then play Cal, Colorado State (in Denver), and at Ohio State.
Quick Hits: Muschamp, Jim Grobe, Fedora, Bob Toledo
Will Muschamp says he expects defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to call the defensive schemes on game day: "Dan and I worked together before, so that's kind of why we get along so well — we have a philosophical belief in how you play. I plan on him calling it right now as far as what we're doing, but I'm going to be involved. In my role, you play to your strengths, and my strength is on defense, special teams and recruiting."
Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe talks about staff adjustments: "This was a great opportunity to help ourselves offensively, and I don't think we'll miss a beat defensively. We'll be better just because our kids will be older, but it's really more of an opportunity for us. I hate to lose Brad, but in losing Brad we're able to make ourselves better on the offensive side, and hopefully with Brian coming over we don't miss anything because we've got another really experienced defensive coach coming over to help us on defense."
Southern Miss head coach Larry Fedora talks about Spring practice: "You look at our offense and think 'Hey, If they can fill a couple of holes they're not going to miss a beat. But on defense, it's a whole new deal. It's an entirely new system and there's a learning curve. We need to get in as much as possible so (the players) feel comfortable headed into fall practice."
Tulane head coach Bob Toledo talks about his concerns entering Spring practice: "I'd say our quality depth at offensive line isn't as good as we need it to be, so that's a concern. We have some good players there, we have four or five who have played quite a bit. But we just don't have a lot of depth. If we get some injuries there, that could be a problem."
"We gave up more big plays than the great majority of teams in the nation. We've got to eliminate the big passing plays — we gave up more than 40 — and then the only one who really performed well last season was (senior) Phillip Davis, he only got beat deep one time. … He's the one we're going to miss the most."

W: TPB-Sides
I just started working on a series of lists called Comic Book Disco, detailing every comic I've ever collected (yes, I have records of that). The things is: I have a lot of trade paperbacks too. I thought about it, and I don't really want to mix my TPB's in with all of the single issues in the Disco, so I decided to make separate lists for them. This is getting a little bit on the crazy side, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, thanks for checking out my collection.

Build your ultimate team of football stars by earning, buying, selling and trading players and items within the FIFA community. Create, manage and compete with multiple squads in new competitions each week.
FIFA 14 introduces the new Real Ball Physics and Pure Shot features that make your attempts on goal more realistic than ever before. Your players will adjust their stride to get off a good shot when the opportunity presents itself but if the chance comes when they are off-balance, the accuracy and strength of their shot will be compromised – just like real life.
That is counterbalanced by improved team-mate intelligence that ensures defenders stay close to their opponents in a bid to limit their opportunities, while keeping an eye out for a counterattacking opportunity.
A new variable first touch makes dribbling with the ball even more of an art, while shielding the ball is more lifelike than ever.
The improved Career mode also makes player scouting more realistic than ever, letting you develop your scouting network and assess players on their attributes.
You can also use the new EA Sports Football Club app for iPhone and Android smartphone to manage your squad, search live auctions and bid to win new players.
FIFA 14 is set to be one of the year's biggest titles for the PS3.Age from 3 years.

Along with earning more money and becoming a legendary criminal, comes a new character customisation and crafting system that lets crews build and customise their own guns and gear.

Take the ride of your life in Grand Theft Auto V for PS3.
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious title in the series to date, with a world bigger than GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined.
Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.
Los Santos is a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities which was once the envy of the Western world, but now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score.
Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.

DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia College
& State University cross country teams will make their much
anticipated debut Saturday morning in Alabama, competing at the
2009 Jacksonville State University Struts Season Opener.
The men's and women's teams will take the course against some of the best teams in the southeast, including Alabama A&M, Kennesaw State University, West Georgia, and Miles College, while league rival Clayton State University will also be on hand as the only other Peach Belt Conference school in attendance.
The women will start things off at 9:00 a.m. Central Standard Time, taking to the two-mile course, while the men will follow on the 5K course at 9:30 a.m.
The race will take place at Oxford Lake and Recreation Park in Oxford, Alabama, and results will be available at www.SaintsSports.com immediately following the event.

2008 Peach Belt All-Conference performer Katie Vance returns for her sophomore campaign and will look to build on a season-high 11th place finish at the Suwanee Invitation last year, while posting a personal best time of 20:17 at the Mercer Invitational in Macon, Georgia.

What to Get Mom: Idea #2
Between a bump in the barometer and days of endless sun, there's nothing that puts a pep in your step like the anticipation of Summer fun. While Summer might not be here just yet, it's never too early to prep for warm-weather festivities. From backyard barbecues to soaking up sun by the surf, we've gathered together five of our favorite Summer essentials to get you out the door and enjoying the sun in style.
1. Tote
From the beach to the farmers market and everything in between, you need a great tote to carry all your goodies to and fro.
2. Swimwear
Whether is a swim diaper for baby or your favorite polka dot bikini, Summer by the sea is always better with a vibrant swim wardrobe for beachside retreats.
Tis the season for baseball tailgates and backyard cookouts. From heat resistant mitts to tongs and kid proof plates, having an arsenal of barbecue accessories is sure to garner any cook a few smooches.
4. Pool Toys
From lounging poolside under the umbrella or doing cannonballs into the deep end, pool toys just make Summer more fun.
5. Get Fit Gear
With warm weather comes a plethora of outdoor activities to get the whole family up and moving. From state of the art rapid-ready gear to totally zen yoga apparel, summer isn't complete without a wardrobe that's ready to get fit.
The day finally arrived— Baby #2 was born about a week and a half ago and we couldn't be more excited! Baby G is a delight: happy, sleepy, and cuddly… and Bean is slowly but surely adjusting to big sisterhood. I guess we're all adjusting to becoming a family of four and we've already instituted some changes to make things run a little more smoothly. One of my first orders of business was to get my diaper bag in order. Juggling diapers, wipes, spare clothes and all of the other stuff you have to cart around with a newborn and a 21-month old is no laughing matter. So I turned to zulily for some help in getting my diaper bag in tip-top shape. I ordered two different bags, one for each girl's diapers and wipes.
I also ordered this cool wet bag, which I'm using to store a change of clothes for each girl. I love this bag because you can store wet clothes in here, which will come in handy when we have the inevitable accident.
My diaper bag may be a complete disaster in a few weeks, but right now it looks like a shining example of organization. And hopefully it'll keep me and my sleep-deprived brain from putting newborn-sized diapers on Bean!

Spring has sprung! And it's brought along the must-have trends that you'll love. We dialed in during this season's New York Fashion Week to bring you our top four favorite trends ripping the runways. Shop these haute spring and summer styles today.
The party print of the season has to be baroque. Originating from Europe, its ornate design is synonymous with opulence, making it an ideal choice for special occasions. Dress the part of a fashion goddess when incorporating this regal trend into your look. From the desk to dinner, it is a style do!
The lust-worthy print gives a modern moto jacket a regal edge and looks great on a classic shift, but if you're looking for a leisurely-luxe version of the trend, pair a blinged out baroque-inspired bijoux with a simple tee. Get the look starting April 3.
Nautical notes made a stylish splash on the runways. Expect contemporary styles that never fail, like Brenton striped crewnecks, navy skimmers, crisp white linen blouses and sailor-inspired trousers. This trend's effortless style makes it a spring favorite and ideal for lunches with the girls, family trips to the lake house and even a casual evening out.
Get the look on April 5th with the premiere of Vecceli Italy on zulily.com. Known for their sea-side-inspired apparel and luxurious jewelry, the brand delivers a casually-chic ensemble from head to toe!
Get ready for a floral flush. This season, bountiful blooms live on in tropical tones, Hawaiian-inspired prints and metallic tinges. Tory Burch perfected the trend with a high-shine drop-waist dress covered in blossoms, while Elie Saab serenaded us in sweet style notes with her petal trimmed shift.
Shop our signature In the Garden collection on April 8th for your next botanical ensemble. With floral inspired accessory and apparel, the options are endless!
Ruffles and Lace:
This trend is no longer limited to little divas - it's time for Mom to have fun with ruffles and lace, and with these flirty styles, we're sure you will! Feminine ruffles and diaphanous lace accents have taken over women's wardrobe. By far one of the most popular trends of the season, when ruffles and lace are worn right, they make a mighty fine duo. Keep in mind less is more, so don the fancy flourishes in moderation – a sheer lace pant or tiered ruffle shift will do the trick!
Boasting an ethereal vibe that's perfect for spring, dive into our pastel hued Ruffles and Lace collection going live April 16th. Enjoy tousled layers, decadent lace embroidery and even slinky fringe finishes that will have you swooning.
Aren't little guys the cutest? Our friends at Celebrity Baby Scoop recently took at some celebrity with broods of boys.
With the recent arrival of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's third son – Apollo Bowie Flynn – let's take a look at four more Hollywood moms whom have all boys in their brood.
Gwen Stefani:
Rocker couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed their third son - Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale – on February 28, 2014.
In January, the Cool singer – already mom to sons Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 5 – revealed that she was expecting another boy. Wearing a blue shirt and crown, Gwen captioned an Instagram photo: "I was ready to hand over the crown. But I guess I am still queen of the house. #itsaboy #surroundedbyboys."
In 2010, the No Doubt frontwoman admitted that her brood of boys is a bit "weird."
"I mean, it does seem weird that I don't have a girl, but I feel like I'm running out of time," Gwen shared. "I also don't want to spread myself so thin that I can't even be good for them… Poor Zuma, he'd be the middle guy. I'm not focusing on it right now, but it's not up to me anyway, you know? These things are miracles, so we'll see. Otherwise, the clothes are probably going to go to some girlfriend of Kingston's!"
Melissa Joan Hart:
Sabrina, The Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart and husband, musician Mark Wilkerson, are parents to three boys: Mason, 8, Brady, 6, and Tucker, 18 months.
"I was actually relieved it was a boy," Melissa told Celebrity Baby Scoop.
She added: "It makes life a little easier. I wasn't prepared for the 'girly' toys and accessories. I couldn't be more happy with the family I have surrounding me but I'm not ready to say I'm done having kids just yet."
Cate Blanchett:
Two-time Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett and husband, screenwriter Andrew Upton, have three sons: Dashiell, 12, Roman nearly 10, and Ignatius, nearly 6.
"Having boys is great," the Elizabeth star said. "It's a neat position to be in and I love the high energy that comes along in raising boys. It's fun."
Julie Bowen:
Modern Family star Julie Bowen and husband Scott Phillips are proud parents to three sons: Oliver, nearly 7, and 4 1/2-year-old twins John and Gus.
What's life like in her all-boy household?
"I have three boys, so my house is … rowdy!" she joked with Celebrity Baby Scoop.
She added: "They are close in age, so they really do like playing with one another, and so far, get along very well. I hope that continues."
Britney Spears:
While she loves her boys, pop superstar Britney Spears says she'd love to give her sons —Sean Preston, 8, and Jayden James, 7 — a baby sister.
"I would like to be busy the first couple of years, but then I would really like to have another baby, a girl," Britney admitted.
She added: "I think she would be like a mini-me. I think it's going to be crazy. I'm not going to feel as alone in the world anymore. I'm going to feel like I have a second person, like, that's me."

It's Maternity Passport week at zulily, where we're featuring maternity brands from various countries around the world. Motherhood is a universally cherished experience, but each country has its own unique customs to celebrating the arrival of a new baby. We've taken a look at some of these customs from countries featured during Maternity Passport week all this week.
France: In France it is not customary to have a baby shower before the baby is born. The French prefer to shower a new mom with gifts after the baby is born, often times waiting until the first birthday to celebrate and give gifts to both the mother and baby.
Turkey: In Turkey, mothers stay at home for the first 20 days after the birth. During this time, friends drop by and drink a special beverage called lohusa serbeti. Once 20 days pass, the mother and child make return visits to gift-givers' homes, where they are given a handkerchief filled with a single egg (signifying a healthy baby) and candy (representing a good-natured baby).
They also rub flour on the baby's eyebrows and hairline, which is supposed to grant him a long life.
New Zealand: Pregnancy is a very special time in Maori culture. It is believed that both mom & Baby should remain relaxed and calm throughout pregnancy because the baby is fully aware of its surroundings and stresses.
Singapore: Many people believe that it is unlucky to throw a baby shower before the baby is born. Parties are often held up to 100 days after the baby is born. Mothers also turn to natural medicine such as strong herbal teas to ease the pain of labor and help purify themselves while pregnant. As in a lot of cultures, it is believed that the baby is very sensitive to external forces.
Sweden: An interesting invention called 'Breast Warmers' are popular in Sweden. Described as a cross between a baby elephant's ear and a shoulder pad, the breast warmer is meant to be placed into a bra to hold in body heat. Swedes believe that nursing mothers should keep their breasts warm to increase milk flow and prevent blocked ducts.
Today on zulily we're launching a very special kind of event that you can come find every month, the Contemporary Style Shoppe. We've talked with one of the buyers, Brittany Schooley, about what the Shoppe is all about and got some insight on her favorite style of the season.
Tell us what Contemporary Style Shoppe is?
The Contemporary Style Shoppe is a one-stop destination, to find high-end, fashion-forward, styles to give your wardrobe that extra "WOW" factor! It will offer amazing discounts on high-quality pieces that will transition seamlessly from season to season.
Why did you decide to launch it?
We wanted to offer our customer a place where she can go to find specialty pieces and contemporary styles as seen on ready-to-wear runways, fashion blogs, and magazines! It's a place to go to find that special dress, bag, jacket, etc.!
What can the zulily customer expect to find from the Shoppe?
We are offering quality dresses, separates, bags, jewelry and more that she don't see in your regular retail stores. The styles we're offering enhance the wardrobe and take it to the next level. Brands include Dolce Vita, Goddis, Frankie B, CXL by Christian Lacroix and more!
What's one of your favorite styles for this season?
One of my favorite trends right now combines a beautiful printed maxi dress with this edgy moto jacket. It's super easy to wear, looks great on everyone and combines a bright, feminine piece with an edgy, masculine style, which gives it that trend-setting look. In addition, both garments can be mixed and matched easily into any wardrobe and each piece is still unique on its own.

A two-year client of Accion partner Swadhaar FinServe in Mumbai, Shamin Sheikh was on her third loan, for 10,000 rupees (US $225), when Accion first visited. Shamin runs a small masala – spice – shop in the city's Kherwadi market, drawing passers-by with the vibrant reds and yellows, and pungent smells, of chili peppers and powder, tamarind, cumin, and pickled lemons and mangos, to name just a few. Formerly a tutor, she first borrowed from Swadhaar to launch her new venture, guessing – accurately, as it turned out – that it might be more lucrative. Despite the long hours – 9am to 10pm every day – it does much to augment her husband's work in a local hotel, and allows her to pay the school fees for her 5- and 12-year-old children. What, we wondered, had been the biggest change in her life since launching her new business? "Freedom," she answered in a word – the chance to see and engage with the world in a way that tutoring work at home had never allowed.

Most people who have done some plumbing know better than to use plastic threaded fittings because of the likelihood of cracking. I would never use CPVC on a shower riser.
The only thing you can do is try using a liberal amount of pipe dope on the threads and turn it in until it is fairly tight and facing the right direction. If that does not work, it's time to get out the saw for some re-work.

O'Shaughnessy's Tiny Titans Screen
by Cara Scatizzi
There are many proponents of investing based on market capitalization. James O'Shaughnessy is one of those proponents. We introduced four stock screening strategies in 2006 based on his book "Predicting the Markets of Tomorrow: A Contrarian Investment Strategy for the Next Twenty Years" (Portfolio, 2006). The book discusses market-capitalization trends and investment cycles that O'Shaughnessy believes last about 20 years.
The best-performing strategy of the group is called Tiny Titans, which focuses on low-price micro-cap stocks. Much research has been done regarding the success of investing in this market-cap category. AAII's Shadow Stock Portfolio is based on a study that showed that small and micro-cap stocks tend to outperform the overall market over long periods of time.
O'Shaughnessy believes the reason for this outperformance is that few analysts follow these small stocks. In addition, many institutional investors and mutual funds cannot trade these stocks without moving the price due to the relatively small number of outstanding shares. This leaves room for surprises, which can lead to a performance "pop." O'Shaughnessy also says that micro-cap stocks have a low correlation with the overall stock market, making them a potential hedge in a portfolio of larger-cap stocks.

Ricotta and Chive Gnocchi
Author Notes: Gnocchi is easily my favorite type of pasta, and I've been dying to make it at home since I first came to appreciate these little doughy morsels. I decided to make my very first attempt at gnocchi for a dinner party (risky, I know), so I wanted them to have a little something special. I added some creamy ricotta which gave them an incredibly subtle flavor and slightly more dense texture, as well as some chives since they're a natural with potatoes. After I boiled them, I sauteed them in butter to improve the flavor just a bit and give them a more dynamic texture. (I can't get enough of that brown crust right out of the pan.) But the best part of gnocchi, as I discovered, was that they are a total blast to make. For a Millennial of Spanish, Turkish, German and English descent, I felt like a total Italian grandmother from the old world. And I loved every minute of it. - The Internet Cooking Princess
Food52 Review: In this gnocchi recipe, The Internet Cooking Princess has re-imagined the classic sour cream and chive-topped baked potato in the most ingenious way: she swaps in ricotta for the sour cream, lightening the dough and lending it a faint sweetness, and sautes the gnocchi in olive oil and butter for a most addictive golden crust. A few tips: we used a ricer to mash the potatoes to ensure that they were perfectly smooth; scored an "X" onto each end of the potatoes before boiling so they were easier to peel afterwards; and shaped the gnocchi by rolling them down the back of a fork, because we're fancy. After sprinkling some chives and grated parmesan on top, we helped ourselves to bowl after bowl. -A&M - A&M
Serves four to six
- 3 Russet potatoes
- 2 Eggs
- 1 c. Ricotta
- 1/2 c. Grated parmesan
- 1/3 c. Chives
- 2 c. Flour (making sure you have extra on hand for rolling them later)
- 6 T. Butter
- 6 T. Olive oil
- Kosher salt & pepper
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the russet potatoes. Boil for 45 minutes, draing the water through a colander, and let the potatoes cool.
- Once the potatoes have cooled down, remove and discard the skins. In a large bowl, mash the potatoes. The mixture needs to be as smooth as possible, so use an immersion blender or hand mixer if that helps. Then, add the eggs and stir into the mixture. Once the eggs have been incorporated, stire in the ricotta, parmesan, and chives.
- At this point, the mixture should be very thick, but it needs to be as thick and maliable as dough. Add the flour and stir together until you get that consistency. The mixture will still be a little sticky, that's ok. Take a handful or two of flour and scatter it on a smooth surface. Place your dough on the flour and roll around until it's more dough-like and doesn't stick to everything in sight.
- Begin rolling with your hands as if you're forming a large snake. You will end up getting a very large tube of dough, about two feet long. Cut this into quarters, and continue rolling each individual segment until you form rolls that are no bigger than a quarter in circumference. (Any bigger and you'll have difficulty cooking them.)
- From the skinnier rolls, take a knife or pinch off little sections and roll them around in the palm of your hand to make the gnocchi. You may need to continue dredging them in a little flour as you go, which is fine. Set all the finished gnocchi on a large plate to the side.
- Once all the gnocchi have been formed. Dump them into a boiling pot of hot, salted water. Boil the gnocchi for five minutes to ensure their centers are nice and dense. (They will automatically start popping up to the top of the pot once they're cooking, but make sure you give them a little extra time in the water.)
- Drain the boiled gnocchi through a colendar. Then, in a very large saute pan over medium high heat, add two tablespoons of oil and butter. Add just enough gnocchi to the pan where they have enough space to get a light, brown crust around them. Add more oil, butter, and gnocchi when the first batch is done. Lightly season the gnocchi with a little kosher salt, parsley, or extra chives.
- This recipe is a Wildcard Contest Winner!

Just made them yesterday and they were just soft pillows that were crunchy on the outside. First time I've made gnocchi and it was a success! I would suggest some kind of sauce to go with them though.

Does low fat ricotta work as well?
over 2 years ago bella s.f.
Texas Ex, I would like to know that also. Below, I asked the same question a year ago, but never got a response. This recipe appears in the wonderful Food52 Cookbook. There the recipe calls for 3 medium russet potatoes, but one woman's/man's medium can be far bigger or smaller than the next one's (so to speak). In most recipes this would not be a problem. I know how big I would want a medium onion to be in a dish, for example. However, with gnocchi, I would like to have an approximate weight. it could make the difference between pillows and hockey pucks. Perhaps we can get a clarification. I would really like to make these pups.
over 2 years ago Texas Ex
Absolutely delicious--used some of the gnocchi for a gratin with gorgonzola. Looking forward to using the remainder!
One quick question--any ideas about the weight of the potatoes? First time making gnocchi, but I understand the proportions need to be correct, and potatoes can obviously vary drastically in size.
about 3 years ago bottomupfood
This was delicious, but it sure was a lot of work! The leftovers were fantastic, though, and there were a lot because the recipe makes a lot.
Also, I wanted to put more on it than just salt and parmesan. Any ideas for an appropriate sauce, beyond the obvious sage browned butter and tomatoe options?

Playing at Jacksonville State University's football stadium, senior quarterback Monteo Garrett completed 8 of 16 passes for 154 yards and four touchdowns as Munford rolled to a 41-14 victory.
Munford (7-1, 6-0 in the region) still have a shot at finishing unbeaten in its region for the first time since 1992.
"I'm so proud of just what we've done this season," Munford head coach Will Wagnon said. "We're still making some mistakes but we're finding ways to win. No matter how many mistakes we make, we find a way to make some big time plays at the right moment."
As for Garrett, he did as he has done every time he has been asked about his performance – he immediately passed the credit to various teammates.
"I've got faith in a lot of my guys," Garrett said. "Before I come into the game, I tell them all the time I believe in them."
Garrett showed Thursday how much he believes in junior wide receiver Cameron Turner. The duo connected on two touchdown passes, an 11-yard pass for the first score of the game and a 14-yard pass as the first half expired.
"I've been playing with Cameron since I was younger -- him and Tavon (Lawson)," Garrett said.
Garrett also found Lawson, a senior wide receiver, for a 25-yard touchdown pass. His final touchdown pass went to C.J. Chapman for 89 yards.
"He's excellent," coach Wagnon said about Garrett. "Great quarterbacks, the one thing about them, they can make something great out of nothing or a bad thing. That's what he does. He had a great game tonight."
The Lions' defense managed three turnovers. Two senior defensive backs recorded interceptions -- Terrious Williams and Jay Scales. Williams' interception was returned for a 15-yard touchdown. The Lions also recovered a fumble late in the fourth quarter.
"That was big," Wagnon said. "The defense has played awesome all year."
The Lions' final touchdown came on a 1-yard run by Charles Smith.
Cherokee County dropped to 2-5, including 1-4 in Region 5, but head coach Thomas Curry said does not see this season as a disappointment.
"Sometimes seasons aren't measured by wins and losses," he said. "It's about how hard the kids try. Our kids get after it."
The Warriors made a game out of it in the first half. After falling behind 14-0, J.T. Hill ran for 65 yards down to the Lions' 5-yard line. That play set up a 5-yard touchdown run by Ty Green.
Michael Spurling added a 44-yard touchdown run.
"Playing Munford, they've got so much speed," Curry said. "But, our kids played hard. We made mistakes but Munford is a good team."
Munford returns to action next Friday as they look to sweep the region, hosting Anniston. The Warriors return to action next Friday on the road. They travel to Hokes Bluff.
